I put 4 dollars down on Rosas inside the distance, let's fucking go Rosas
I will be checking it out.
I am probably more excited for the undercard (what I am missing atm lol) then the main. BillyQ, Hernandez, Buckley, Edmen, Jairzinho are all fun.
The maincard losing Jiri/Glover obviously hurt it big time. They were banking on Jiri's new found star power to push the PVP sales to highlight 2 of their biggest hypetrains in Mitchell and Paddy.
Till/Du Plessis is a great fight and has the obvious story line of will the super talented Till get back on track or did we just witness a spectacular fail to reach potential, that is all too common in combat sports. Its a tough game.
Ponzi / Morono not being co-main shows how much the UFC wants paddy to blow up. This is a great fight that will probably be the best fight on the maincard. (maybe Till/Du)
Jan/Ankalaev great fight. Should not be the main event of a pvp. Would have been a perfect comain on a pvp.
Paddy and Mitchell are 2 of the UFC's biggest hypetrains. If I am Mitchell I am asking why the fuck Paddy is later then me on the card. Mitchell is coming off a win over Barboza. Obviously not the Barboza of old but its still a big win for anyone. Oh and he is fighting another legitimate top prospect in Topuria. Who does not have the hype of Paddy and Mitchell. But he is probably the most talented out of the 3. Mitchell is a fucking idiot IRL. Hime taking the Topuria fight is pretty bad ass. I would bet anything they offered Paddy the Topuria fight and he would not accept. Topuria/Paddy is a perfect comain event on a pvp.
Gordon is a legit UFC level guy. He is Paddy's best challanger to date for sure. He is also about as hand picked of a opponent as you get for Paddy. I won't count Jared out but its a real tough match up for him. To be fair Jared Gordon is around Paddy's current level. Its just a really shitty match up for him.
I really wanted Topuria / Paddy. Paddy annoys the shit out of me and is way to hittable to be in there with Topuria .
shows how much the UFC wants paddy to blow up
That decision shows how much they want him to blow up lol.
I suspect shenanigans in the judging.
especially after the sus decision in Yan-O'Malley (O' Malley being another big hypetrain)
I plan on making an aftermath post, I will ping you when I get it up.
Late I know but there lots of weird ass shit going on with the UFC atm that could be interesting conversation.
Is there a more dominant region than Dagestan in all of combat sports? I don't think so tbh
Irish Travellers in boxing have probably more success per capita (their population is a few percent Dagestan's)
